Throwing this out there in case people are working on learning how to draw Raph and need some help. His design/proportions are way different from the other brothers and most of the time I see people instinctually going for normal human proportions with him.

((And you are more than welcome to continue drawing him that way if you wish to do so; this isn't a callout post or anything! /gen))

But for those who want to adhere closer to his cannon design, ya gotta specifically break some of those art school anatomy rules you learned.

Also adding this for the neck muscles from another post I did a while back.

Go forth and draw the big turtle boy!!

I hate backgrounds.

But I managed to do this Leo room reference/animation shot (somehow)

Animation ver:

Aesthetic ver (I misclicked on a color drop and somehow got a pretty neat filter, so I thought I’d share it, too):

Grayscale (this was the first version, so there may be some details missing that I added later):

It’s kinda minimalistic, but given that backgrounds are the bane of my existence, I’m pretty proud of it!

I also might change the colors for the final animation to better match the theme, but we’ll see

It’s also only going to show on-screen for 5 seconds of a unserious animation, so the amount of time I spent on this was fucking atrocious

But, alas, at least I’m learning the pains of the animation industry early on :,,)

Your OC Eryn is soo adorable!!😍 And how you've got the art style down is beautiful!!! How do you draw the style so well? Also is there a reference for your OC?

Here's Eryn's reference sheet!!

As for how to draw in the Rise Style- buckle up cuz this is gonna be one long explaination-

You gotta pay attention to the way the crew draws certain things like how they add the sharpness, angles, and curves to stuff like knees, hair, facial features, etc. Best way to learn is to reference not just from the main characters but mostly background characters too

The show actually has some really awesome bg character design!!

Make sure your colors are around the same value and saturation as the rest of the screenshot if you're doing that, or color them next to the Turtles lineup for reference ^^

Also if u can, use a textured brush with the pen pressure on!! I use clip studio paint and the brush I use has the Content ID 1688553

Also speaking of pen pressure Also study which lines are thinner and thicker and how they thin out to a point at the end

I use a ton of references to figure out how to draw the main characters. The best ones I've got are from MelancholicRowan here on tumblr, but I've collected a ton here into this drive!

That's about all I've got to offer about it, I hope that helps! ^^
